Whats up everyone, i got all the bolts out of the hub and everything but it seems to be stuck in the knucle, hitting it with a hammer isnt working and it doesnt appear that heating the knuckle is working either

any suggestions, working on it now so kinda in a rush for it

Don't know what else to say other than sometimes that happens. Just gotta keep working with it. I don't have any tips. I did mine and I just kept at it. Eventually it came out. The only fasteners are the three bolts.

Are you using a hammer or a HAMMER? Get a 5 lb hammer and it'll come off in just a few whacks. Hit it a few times on the left side and then a few times on the right side.

we were using a 5lb mini sledge and went to an 8 pound sledge

but me and my dad ended up having to go to his work and get an industrial ram (he moves machinery for a living) and but the back on the knuckle and the face of the ram into the hub to get it to pop out

all done now, my buddy came over and decided he wanted to do the work for me the rest of the way after we got it out so i sat back and chilled for a bit ha

but thanks for the responses, we tried all of those things that were said
